So I've been doing some thinking....
And I'll keep this short.
But I am just really glad that we are flawed. If we were all perfect, life would suck.
As I was sitting at lunch today making fun of people around me, I realized that I had characteristics of all these people in me.
Two girls who absolutely hated each other sat next to each other in order to please a guy they both liked. Working together with an enemy to obtain a goal both want, but neither can have. How many times have I chased after something that wasn't good for me, even to the point of disrupting good relationships?
A girl tries WAY too hard to be liked. She dresses up and wears pounds of makeup so that she will impress people and fellow highschool students might think she's pretty. How many times in my own life have I "dressed myself up" to look better to others?
One guy sits back and laughs at all of them, thinking he's better. But really, is anyone better than anyone else? How many times have I thought I was better than someone else because I was wealthier, smarter, or knew the right people?
One girl sat at that table depressed because she didn't think she looked good enough for anyone to like her. How many times have I been depressed because I didn't think I was good enough?
All the people at that table have something in common. They all shared a need to be loved.
So I think that I can say that High School is really a microcosm of society as a whole.
We all find ourselves in this spot once in a while. Just remember, no matter who you are at the table, we all need each other. Our flaws make us who we are. If we were all perfect, lunch would suck.
